swansea ram Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Is it not a sad day, when over £100,000,000 is spent on transfers, that a club, with 140 a hundred years of history, gets a winding up order for £58,000. Not even 2 days wages for some players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 I certainly don't see the money men shedding a tear. I bet Bale's agent and the good folks at Sky Sports sleep soundly at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duracell Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Tragic that I now don't have a local football team to go and watch. Rushden and Diamonds don't play in Rushden, Kettering were playing in Corby....Northants football is in a right mess. Kettering's real problems started when the council couldn't/wouldn't find a new ground for them once they lost their lease to the old ground. Corby Town is now my most local football team and not supporting them, bunch of Glaswegans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 I had a football manager game on the Acorn Electron, the days when they were cassettes. Anyhow it always started you off at Kettering Town, never did get them promoted as it kept crashing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcnram Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 It is not a lot for the people of Kettering to raise if they wanted to. It must be viewed as a hopeless case locally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G STAR RAM Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Who is the money owed to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastAnglianRam Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I believe it is owed to the former owners of Rushden and Diamonds. Even sadder still that a club can be folded because of a debt owed to another club that has already folded! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duracell Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 It is not a lot for the people of Kettering to raise if they wanted to. It must be viewed as a hopeless case locally. Kettering couldn't even find a place for them to build a new stadium. It's pretty disgraceful that they sent their own team out to Rushden. I might have gone to a few games but the bus to Rushden is five quid and match tickets were at least a tenner. The problem was with Kettering is that it was a club with big ambitions stuck in the most unambitious town in the country. The locals don't seem to care about anything.

EastAnglianRam Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 They have a fundraising game to try and save the club on 12th September so it could yet survive. It is a small debt in footballing terms so would be really sad if they couldn't achieve this. You would think that sky would step in and offer to cover the game which would bring in the revenue allowing Kettering to survive?! Think of the positive PR sky could gain from 'looking after' the history of the English game, especially as they are constantly slated for destroying it. I guess the game does conflict with their scheduled televised under 10s game though. Its obvious which is more important... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
